We sure do. There's a couple of threads on this topic that you may want to search for. It was actually a pretty heated discussion IIRC.

I bought one, not realizing it was a clone, for $75 through Kijiji. It only works with version 3 of the software. Eventually I'll buy a real one and toss this one.

Sorry, didn't realize it had been discussed in depth. Thanks for the info.

What is the purpose of re-wiring?

So many opportunities these days to sell one's soul for a few dollars by rewarding these knock off thieves...
